Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: wishlist
Often when I am logged in to someone else's system I want to download a package
to my home directory to unpack, examine, or transfer elsewhere.
"apt-get -d install package" wants to put the package in
/var/cache/apt/archives which is not writable by non-root.
I would like to be able to tell it to download into another directory that I
have write access to.
